Meet the meta-snowclone-ish name of the week: The New Black. As in “red is the new black.” Or “tartan is the new black.” Or “dispopulation is the new black.”
According to San Francisco magazine’s September issue, this particular New Black is
a 9,000-square-foot retail space and gallery slated to open in the Mission in September. The design trove will feature furniture, lighting, fashion, and accessories from over 20 firms, as well as collaborative workshop space for Steven Miller Design Studio, Figure Plant, Hazel.Wood Design Group, and Hart/Wright Architects.
(Their emphasis.)
And look!
They made the logo out of consonants only!
Because nobody’s ever done that before.
Bonus sighting:
“Pre-owned Is the New ‘New’”: advertisement in the New York Times, Page A5, September 3, 2012.
More on “X is the new Y” at the Snowclones Database.
Once again, a pronunciation challenge that I shall gladly take up: It's "nwibəlk" and I cannot be persuaded otherwise.

"'Blank' is the new black" needs to be retired. The only interest it arouses in me is indifference.
